Friday we left for Tamarindo from Cuidad Quesada with Max, our driver. There were ten of us for this trip. We lucked out and got a van with a DVD player so it made the five hour trip go by a little faster. We watched Anchorman and The Family Stone. We got to Tamarindo about eight and we checked into our hotel, the Vista Villas and Elena and Jasmine checked into their hotel, the Villa Macondo. The Monkey Bar, a really popular bar, was actually a part of our hotel so we got some pizza and drinks and hung out. It got pretty crowded and there was much music, much dancing, and much fun. It was really convenient to have our hotel right there. The rooms even had air conditioning and their own bathrooms, which was so clutch.
We got up the next day and had breakfast and hit the beach. Playa Tamarindo was a really pretty beach with a huge shore. Some girls rented some surfboards and we tossed the frisbee until about one o'clock, when we had to go on our sunset catamaran cruise. It was pretty awesome. We sailed for about an hour and enjoyed music and an open bar, then we got to swim, snorkel, sea kayak, jump off of the boat, whatever we wanted. When we got back on to head back we had chicken, chips, salsa, cookies, and again, more open bar. The sun began to set as we headed back. It was gorgeous. Everyone agreed it was a great afternoon, which was good because I was the one who got everyone to go in the first place! We got dinner at Joe's, the restaurant at Witch's Rock. The food and drinks were excellent. It was a lower key night because we had a pretty exhausting day.
Sunday we walked around and shopped some after Phuong, Britt, Laura and I got breakfast at a beachfront restaurant until it was time to eat lunch. We ate at Joe's one last time, and headed back to Cuidad Quesada at about two o'clock. Another great weekend came to a close. I already can't wait for the next one!

I am the COMMENT QUEEN!!! I love the pictures, JayJay. Everyone has red cheeks. I think you look good. I'm glad you had fun, and I'm wondering if you surfed. It looks like a beautiful place, and I know you enjoyed it. I hope your placement today went okay. I love you.
I think it is now time to admit that I am too cool to be the first commenter; I like the much cooler second spot better. First is the worst, second is the best, etc. Your pictures are so pretty and that sunset cruise sounds like the best thing ever. Luv, Taylor
The next weekend will be here before you know it!! I'm glad you got to watch Anchorman. Was it in Spanish since you are in CR? haha
GREAT pictures. I love youxoxoxoaj
